Microsoft announced this morning that it wasbringing Fluid components to Teams Meetings and other Office apps, which should empower employees to collaborate more seamlessly across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. The company also announcedsome enhancements to Teams Meetings and Teams Rooms devicesto make the meeting experience more engaging for everyone, including people not in the room.

Later this year, Microsoft also plans to roll out a new immersive layout named “front row” on Teams Rooms devices. When enabled, the new meeting layout will move the video gallery at the bottom of the screen and surround meeting content with chat messages on the right and other contextual information such as agenda and tasks on the left.

Teams Rooms devices are also getting support for new video layouts that can split the video gallery across multiple displays when no content is being shared during the meeting. Desktop features including live reactions, spotlight, chat bubbles are also coming to Microsoft Teams Rooms devices this summer, with the ability to pin multiple video streams to follow later this fall.

Microsoft also announced today a new Teams Rooms on Surface Hub experience, which will bring several new Meeting features including a modernized meeting stage, Together Mode scenes, and PowerPoint Live. This summer, a new Microsoft Whiteboard experience will also allow coworkers to collaborate more seamlessly on the same canvas, and the new Whiteboard experience will come to Surface Hub devices later this year.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
